Pain Therapy in
Boulder, CO

At Light Lounge, we use red light therapy to help patients of all ages manage their pain and reach their wellness goals.

Chronic and acute pain affects millions of Americans daily, significantly impacting their quality of life. According to the CDC, approximately 20% of U.S. adults suffer from chronic pain, while nearly 8% experience severe pain that limits major daily activities like work. 1

Arthritis, migraines, and back pain are common chronic conditions that lead individuals to seek relief through medication, surgery, or treatments like chiropractic care. While these approaches can be effective, they often come with challenges such as high costs, potential side effects, and inconsistent results.

At Light Lounge, we offer a cutting-edge, research-backed alternative for those seeking pain therapy in Boulder, CO. Our red light treatments are safe, non-invasive, and designed to target the root cause of your pain.

What Causes Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is a term used to describe any pain that lasts more than three months. It can be “on” and “off” or continuous, meaning it may fluctuate in intensity or persist steadily over time.

While chronic pain has mostly been shown to affect older adults aged 45-64 (~25%) and 65 and older (~30%)2, it can impact individuals of all ages. This persistent pain often interferes with their daily lives, including the ability to work, eat properly, engage in physical activity, practice self-care, and enjoy personal and social fulfillment.

Here are a few health conditions and external factors that can contribute to chronic pain:

Arthritis is a condition where inflammation damages the joints, often leading to discomfort and stiffness. Over time, the breakdown of cartilage and joint tissue can limit mobility and make everyday movements more challenging.

Sciatica is caused by the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often from a herniated disc or muscle tightness. This leads to radiating pain, tingling, or numbness from the lower back to the legs.

Neuropathy happens when peripheral nerves are damaged, often due to conditions like diabetes or physical injury. This damage interferes with the nerves’ ability to send signals properly, leading to symptoms like pain, tingling, or numbness.

Muscle strains and injuries occur from overuse, trauma, or tears in the muscle fibers. These injuries cause inflammation and damage at the cellular level, which can lead to pain and reduced function.

Poor posture causes imbalances in muscle function and joint alignment, placing stress on tissues over time. This leads to inflammation, restricted blood flow, and oxidative damage, which can result in chronic pain and stiffness if left unaddressed.

How Red Light Therapy Works for Pain Relief

Red light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) targets pain on a cellular level, providing a safe and effective alternative to medications and invasive surgeries.

Here’s how red and near-infrared light help with pain management:

  • Reduces Inflammation: Red and near-infrared light penetrate deep into tissues to calm inflammation and reduce oxidative stress. Since inflammation is a primary driver of pain, this provides relief for conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and muscle soreness.3
  • Boost Cellular Energy: Red light therapy boosts mitochondrial function, increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This boost in cellular energy supports faster tissue repair and helps restore function to damaged areas. 4
  • Improves Circulation: Red light therapy improves blood circulation which helps your body deliver oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues. This helps your body accelerate healing, reduce swelling, and alleviate pain. 5

Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Pain Management

Here are a few benefits of using red light therapy as your pain management solution:

  • Supports Long-Term Pain Management Goals: Red light therapy is ideal for individuals with chronic pain or those integrating ongoing wellness routines into their lives. It can be especially beneficial for athletes and active individuals who need to recover quickly and maintain peak performance.
  • Non-Invasive, Side-Effect-Free Treatment: Red light therapy is a safe, painless, and drug-free alternative to traditional pain treatments. It’s gentle on the body and has a low risk of side effects when administered under professional care. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals seeking a more natural approach to pain management.

FAQs

When light that is in the red, near infrared, and infrared spectra is applied to the body, inflammation and pain are decreased, and healing is accelerated. Light therapy does this by reducing excessive oxidative stress at the cellular level with no documented nor reported negative side effects.

From folks who are suffering from chronic pain (light therapy can alleviate pain without drugs) to people who want to get more out of their training (light therapy can help increase performance and decrease recovery time).

Clinical trials and 4000 laboratory studies demonstrate that light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) has no negative side effects. It has been proven to heal soft tissue injuries, help with TBI, relieve pain without using harmful drugs and painkillers. For more evidence based information please see our BLOG.

  • Meredith F.
    I currently receive red light therapy at a physicians clinic. I tried Light Lounge Boulder for the first time recently. What is offered here is the highest caliber and most affordable red light therapy that I have found. The facility is clean and the full-body light pods are very advanced. There are almost 50 customized programs for a variety of things ranging from anti-anxiety, to anti-inflammatory, gut-healing, to focus and energy, the list goes on and on. Plus, a whole month of UNLIMITED sessions costs the same as a SINGLE session at my provider’s office. You can’t find this quality of red light therapy at this low of a price anywhere else! And Mary, the studio owner, is an incredibly compassionate woman who makes you feel welcomed from the first visit. I recommend that everyone try red-light therapy and Light Lounge Boulder is the perfect place to start!

    🌟 5 Sessions In, Blown Away by the Results! 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Just wrapped my 5th session at Light Lounge, this time targeting inflammation with an adjusted protocol—starting at 93% intensity instead of 70%. The immediate measurement changes post-session were staggering! Today, we focused on the anti-inflammatory setting at 90%, and wow—the combination of pulsating red-light therapy and harmonic frequencies felt transformative. At one point, the shifting light sequences created such a surreal, almost otherworldly experience (I joked it was like having your own fireworks show" moment, yet in the best way possible 🤣 !). The science behind this technology is next-level. I could literally feel the attunement vibrations working to harmonize my body, as if recalibrating what was out of alignment. Huge gratitude to the genius minds at Light Lounge for innovating this blend of multi light wavelengths and frequency therapy—it’s clear they’re pioneers in wellness at the highest Level! And the results? Over 2 inches lost from my waist since the 17th—with Light Lounge- Boulder being the only change in my routine. This isn’t magic; it’s cutting-edge science, and I’m hooked. If you’re skeptical, let your measurements (and vibes) do the talking. Boulder’s gem for a reason! 🚀 Update: Already booking my next session. Thank you, Mary for bringing Light Lounge-Boulder to life—you’re changing lives, one wavelength at a time! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Prepare for LIFTOFF!🌟🌟🌟🌟 Light Lounge Boulder is NEXT LEVEL! As the owner of Another Level BodyWork and a brand new Charter Member at Light Lounge, I'm ALWAYS searching for cutting-edge ways to boost my own recovery and the results I get for my clients. Let me tell you, Light Lounge delivers! This isn't your average red light therapy; this is a whole-body TRANSFORMATION. From the moment I started my first session (inflammation setting at 70% - WHOA!), I could feel the five distinct wavelengths working their magic. Seriously, I wish I'd taken "before" measurements because the way my clothes fit afterward was MIND-BLOWING. I've already booked sessions for the rest of the week and I'm documenting EVERYTHING…. “Inflammation, be GONE!” What makes Light Lounge truly special is their holistic approach. Intranasal light therapy? Directly stimulating the hippocampus?! YES, PLEASE! As someone with a background in sound healing and frequencies, I'm blown away by how this technology interacts with the entire body, activating all four brainwave states. Talk about a profound shift! This isn't some fleeting new-age biohack; it's FDA-cleared, patented, and meticulously designed for profound, lasting healing. Imagine feeling this good, day after day. When you're in Boulder and ready to experience a true upgrade to your health and well-being – the kind that has you radiating vitality from the inside out – picture yourself stepping into the Light Lounge. As you visualize the warm, soothing light enveloping you, notice a sense of deep relaxation washing over you. Feel the tension melting away as your body absorbs the healing wavelengths. Imagine the invigorated, energized YOU emerging, ready to take on the world. Now, feel the pull to discover more, to book your session, and to secure your Charter Membership at Light Lounge. It's time to prioritize your well-being. Your future self will thank you and me later! 😉

    Red Light Therapy – Personal Results & Supporting Research Written after one session at The Light Lounge, Boulder I recently tried red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) at The Light Lounge in Boulder and was surprised by how much better I felt afterward. After just one session, I noticed a clear reduction in pain in both my neck (specifically in the cervical facet joints) and my knees. Before the session, I had been going down my stairs at an angle to ease the pressure on my knees. Afterward the light therapy, I was able to walk down the steps straight on, without discomfort. Which felt huge. I tend to be skeptical of new wellness trends, especially ones that promise wide-ranging benefits. I started reading up on the science behind it. Red light therapy works by using specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (usually between 630nm and 850nm) that penetrate the skin and interact with the mitochondria in our cells. This process helps boost cellular energy (ATP), reduce oxidative stress, and trigger anti-inflammatory effects in the body. Here are a few research findings that stood out: • A 2009 meta-analysis in The Lancet found that low-level light therapy significantly reduced pain in people with chronic neck pain across several randomized trials. • A 2014 RCT published in Lasers in Medical Science showed improved knee function and reduced pain in osteoarthritis patients who received red light therapy. • A 2017 review in Pain Research and Management explained how red light therapy reduces inflammation and helps heal soft tissue and joint structures. I know more research is still unfolding—especially around ideal treatment plans and long-term results—my own short-term experience was meaningful enough that I’ve decided to sign up for their 3-month membership to give it a fair shot. If you’re dealing with chronic joint pain or stiffness, it might be worth looking into. At the very least, it gave me noticeable relief without meds or side effects, and that alone makes it worth exploring further.

    Relaxed. Swelling went down Have you ever bit your cheek? Well mine was hurting. Hurting bad. It had been several days and it wasn’t getting better. Dentist? Doctor, I thought? Urgent care? Frankly I don’t like the co-pay, I don’t like the wait. The drugs. What about the Lightlounge? I remembered an “inflammation “ setting on the pod last time I was in. The right side of my face was visibly swollen and there was a pain under my right jaw day and night. I checked my app. There was an opening that morning, and I decided that it might help my pain to squeeze in a quick session. (For some reason, I usually fall asleep when I get in the pod. Does that ever happen to any of you?) I felt myself waking up twice during my 15 minute session. My toe tapped against the shell to shake me awake the first time. I realized that the red lasers were still on, and was happy to be able to return to my dream. The second time I woke, I felt like I had been in there for quite some time – like I had taken a well-deserved nap on a rainy afternoon. But it was 10:30am, and I needed to get back to the office. Worried that the timer might have malfunctioned, I pushed the shell up to open the pod. (The lights were all still on, but it wasn’t hot.) I stood and walked around to the screen. It showed that the “inflamation” program was still running. Then about three seconds later, it shut down, the red lights went off, and the room was silent again. I smiled; beside myself that I’d awakened almost exactly at the end of my therapy. What a power nap, I thought! My next sensation was that…as I opened and shut my mouth, wiggling my tongue from side-to-side,...my mouth felt a lot better! It was as if the pain and swelling that was there around my cheek, had somehow drained down and away when I emerged from the pod and stood upright. That did NOT happen this morning, after a mediocre night’s sleep. But it DID…just now after one dream, fifteen minutes on my back, and a feeling of restful awakening??!! Thank you!

    As someone who hits the gym hard, recovery is a crucial part of my routine, and the Light Lounge Boulder has been a game-changer. After intense workouts, I’ve been using their light therapy sessions to speed up recovery and reduce soreness. The difference has been incredible — I feel less fatigued, my muscles recover faster, and I can get back to training harder than ever. The staff is knowledgeable, and the environment is both calming and energizing. Honestly, it’s become an essential part of my fitness regimen. Highly recommended for any guy serious about maximizing recovery and performance!
  • Patty B.

  • Mary E.
    I had bone on bone osteoarthritis in my hip. I tried everything from PT, dry, needling, massage, and stretching, and nothing would work. I saw a Facebook post about the Light Lounge get out of pain three weeks later I felt so much better now it’s been six months later and I feel amazing. I’m back to my old life. Thank you, Light Lounge. Absolutely, the best light therapy pod on the market.

    PLEASE MAKE SURE MY LAST NAME IS CHANGED TO JUST M. I was dealing with systemic inflammation that was quite bad. This began to change after a couple of months and now I can safely say it is now under control. I attribute this to my sessions in the Light Pod. The folks there are great and the place is calm and clean. I am grateful to have found Light Lounge.
